More than 100 people attended the meeting to discuss a wide range of issues, including library funding, charter schools and unemployment.

WGAL managers and managers from the York Daily Record and Sunday News were on hand to answer questions.

“We’re starting a capital campaign to double space of the library in East Berlin. Record usage is at an all-time high and we’ve outgrown the 2,500 square feet,” said Brad Ensor of East Berlin.

“I want to know the difference between charter schools and school chance and the voucher program Governor Ridge proposed. He said the children could go to any school they wanted with a voucher,” said Irene Rauhauser, of York.

“Some employers won’t hire you if you’re unemployed because they want your skills to be fresh, so isn’t that some sort of self-defeating if they won’t hire you when you’re looking for a job?” asked Chuck Shandry of York.
